Groupe A Touring Cars - Nogaro - Coupe de France des Circuits - 2023

A 2 litre Mitjet  dressed up as "Herbie, the love bug" leading two Renault Clio Cup cars who made up most of the field.

 Groupe A Touring cars  are allowed more modifications than the Groupe N cars and run with a couple of 2 litre Mitjets.   They put on a good show.  Initially, I was disappointed to see so many Renault Clio Cup cars but at the end of the race I had a smile on my face.  26 cars started this race.

The leaders go through the first corner and already one of the Renaults is quite sideways.

By the second corner another Renault Clio had been turned around.  

A good battle between a Renault Clio, a Mitjet and a Peugeot RCZ.  

The eventual winner was Francois Samy in a Renault Clio 3 Cup.

Thomas Laisne in the brightly coloured Disney looking Mitjet finished second.

Thomas Drouhin in this Peugeot RCZ Cup finished third.
